BII REPORT: Here's Where Massive Smartphone Growth Will Come From

Most of the six billion mobile phones in the world are not smartphones. Over the next several years, most of these handsets will be replaced by smartphones.

The United States is one of the more mature smartphone markets. Most smartphone device growth, therefore, will likely come from other countries -- notably China and Brazil -- in the next few years.

In a recent BI Intelligence report from Henry Blodget, we outline the opportunity for international smartphone growth, detail how smartphone penetration in the U.S. has reached the point where market growth will begin to slow rapidly, and look at the impact all of this will have on the growth rate of the smartphone ecosystem-- including gadgets, apps, ads, mobile commerce, and mobile web usage.
